Raving about cloth diapers (CDs)

Greetings! This is my first blog, feeling a bit nervous on how to begin with my posting. The reason I created this blog is to voice out issues or teeny tiny things that catches my attention and to share my passion in baking and cooking. As I'm embarking into the modern era of 'stay-at-home-business', yes, I'm starting an online Cloth Diaper business with my sisters-in-law, this blog will serve as a platform for me to rave about cloth diapers vs disposable diapers.

I believe all mummies and daddies always put their offsprings in the first place whether it's regarding on how to spend family incomes, what food to cook, which restaurant to eat out, where to go for vacation and even to the extend what kind of music/songs to listen and so on.... The ultimate decisions is always for the sake of our children. I guess this is humans nature, ya?

Now back to cloth diapers issue; there are many kinds of cloth diapers around the market, namely prefolds, fitted diapers, pocket diapers, diaper covers, AIOs(all in one). CD has definitely evolved from a piece of square fabric a long way but in such a short time. Pocket diapers is the latest diaper system in the market that come in 2 parts, consisting of a waterproof outer layer (PUL) with an inner layer of fleece. These two layers are sewn together in such a way as to leave an opening at the back into which you insert an extra strip of absorbent material (called an insert).

Why do I decided to sell cloth diapers? First of all, ''it's all 'bout the money, it's all 'bout the dang, dang, dang....". Frankly speaking, who doesn't do business for money? Besides that, I can save lots of money and many more benefits by cloth diapering my younger son (9 mths old). This is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Had I known about cloth diapers back before I have my first son, I'd certainly go for it because by now I'd have save more money by passing the cloth diapers down to my second son.

Here are some of the advantages of using cloth diapers:

• Great money saver - Basically each child changes around 7000 diapers during his/her first 3 years of life. For easy calculation, assume that the average price of disposable diapers per piece is RM0.80, so your cost will be approx. RM5600. As for cloth diapers, you'll need roughly 8-10 sets for full day use (depending on your child's age) and you need few more to change while waiting for some of them to dry up. Assume you buy 15 sets of cloth diaper (Moms and Tots Super Saver Package 5 sets @ RM340) and your cost will be RM1020. Conclusion: Your savings will be RM4580. Remember, you'll save more if plan to cloth diaper more than 1 child.



• Free of harmful chemicals and less incidence of diaper rash or allergy. The more absorbent disposables are the more they contain Sodium Polyarcrylate (the same chemical that has been removed from tampon) which could affect reproductive organs according to a study. Urine and bacteria will still be layering your child's bottom no matter how absorbent the disposables that lead to fewer changes. On the other hand, Moms and Tots diaper insert is made of natural bamboo fibre that doesn't harbour bacteria growth(http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Julie_R._Holland) and yet is super absorbent, eco-friendly and gentle on baby skin. Our cover material is water proof yet breathable.

• Cloth diaper is an eco friendly product as compare to disposable diapers. We can reduce landfills by hundreds of acre a year just by switching to cloth diaper. More over, soiled disposables pose a danger to environment which could increase the risk of spread of diseases. By cloth diapering your child, you are saving our mother earth and act as an ambassador in preserving our earth.
